In Fashion Fall 1993: Layout One

In Fashion was a curious collection of fashion, shopping, people and models. I kept this particular issue, well, because of cover boy Simon Le Bon. 15 years ago most of us had grown out of our Duranie phase, but sometimes a girl just couldn't help it. I remember loving all the Adidas used in the above layout. And the jeans! The baggier the better. It was for real, and the photos prove it.

'93 but such a product of the '80s. and i guess much as i try to deny it, so am i, at least style influence-wise. your site is so incredible. the images you have held on to, and are sharing. they are buried so deep in my subconscious.

in high school social studies i couldn't get the frocks of the greeks & romans out of my mind. in art history at college i couldn't let go of the style of edie sedgwick and jean seberg. i realized fashion is our individual entry in the history books. we are all part of fashion history.

funny how conscious i am of clothing, and conscious of every decision i make, but not so clear on what informs me. this issue, enc's note of the big-ness of it all...you should see my all-time favorite pants (that i currently own and wear, weather permitting). levis men's cargo pants. big. i do not like the skinny. i love the baggy. there is such a thing as baggy that fits properly. the waist is the key part, but after that is settled, then the volume... i love volume.
